The Eldest Sister is Like a Stepmother [60’s]

Of course, Lin Yiyi is not ready to have a child. She is planning to start pregnancy at the age of 19, and it will take about 2 years to give birth at the age of 20. Therefore, prepare the cradle early, so as to avoid the occasional meaning, the wood is not smooth enough, etc. In the last two years, the smell is gone, and the wood must be smooth, so that the child will not hurt anywhere when he falls asleep.

However, she couldn’t say that to Qin Xiangju.

She said: “I will be 18 next year. I plan to wait until I get my marriage certificate next year to start preparing to have a child, so I prepare the cradle first. The bed that is too new has a smell, and the child will definitely be uncomfortable when sleeping.”

It’s the end of August, and it will be half a year next year. Qin Xiangju can’t wait for half a year. She has been waiting for so many years. What is half a year? And the daughter-in-law said that she would wait until she was 18 to get a marriage certificate before preparing for the child, which actually made some sense. Although they don’t pay attention to marriage certificates in their villages, and their marriage here is just a pomp, but the son is the deputy director, and the daughter-in-law is a scholar, and this marriage certificate must be obtained.

Qin Xiangju put away these drawings, thinking about making new furniture for her son’s house, and thinking about the birth of her precious grandson in the future, her mood couldn’t be better.

Lin Yiyi took the opportunity to gossip: “Mother, when you were in the county seat, didn’t you say that you would pay 60 yuan first? Why has it changed now?” Lin Yiyi asked in a low voice.

Speaking of this matter, Qin Xiangju sighed: “Let’s go, I’ll tell you as I go.”

Lin Yiyi: “Hey.” This can’t help but remind her of her mother. In the past, when she and her mother had a good meal, they would go for a walk. Then her mother would gossip with her, talk about people in the community, and talk about relatives and friends. In fact, she Mom likes to gossip, but her mom also talks to her and her dad.

The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law walked towards the new house, Qin Xiangju said, “When I came back that day, at night, your father and I talked about this matter with your grandparents. Your grandfather said the same thing as the second child. He said that children grow up Now that we are old and we are getting old, do we have to think about leaving some money for them after we die? Now that we pay, if they have no money in the future, and we pay again, how much money can we have? People can’t get used to it. Back then, when the third family had no money to have children, there was no way to do it. This time the house matter can’t be helped, and as much as you have the ability, you can do as much as you want.”

Lin Yiyi thinks that Grandpa Xiao is really a sensible person, she said: “Sister is right, when you are old, you should hide some money by yourself, and say something ugly, in case you need money in the future

, I don’t have any money on my own, so I ask the child for it. It’s easy to say that the child will give it, but what if the child doesn’t give it? As I get older, I have to look at the child’s face and suffer more. “Of course this is not what Lin Yiyi said, but what her mother said. Her mother said that Lin Yiyi has a job, a house, a car, and savings. After marriage, they will not subsidize it. Although there is only one daughter, the future The money is also given to her, but it will be a hundred years from now, and it is given now. If there is an urgent need in the future, the money will not be easy. Asking for money from her daughter is not as comfortable as having money in her own pocket.

Lin Yiyi felt that her mother’s reasoning was a set of rules. Except for the matter of urging marriage, she was anxious and very open-minded about other things.

Qin Xiangju said: “No, it’s still you who are transparent. And your grandfather also said, although we know that the third child has no money and can’t give 60 yuan, and the boss has money, but if we help it out and let them draw lots, This is also unfair to the boss. So, let’s not take the money and let the brothers discuss it. If we can take the money at the same time, we will draw lots. If we can’t, the house will definitely be for the boss.”

Lin Yiyi: “Actually, the eldest brother’s house is more anxious about the house. Xiaorui and Xiaozhu have grown up. It is always inconvenient to live with the eldest brother and sister-in-law. Our room can be separated from the inside and the outside with a sling. Xiaozhu sleeps inside, and Xiaorui sleeps outside.” Girls start to develop at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and before they grow up, it’s okay for the siblings to sleep in the same room. After development, siblings are not suitable for sleeping in the same room. But there are still six or seven years, maybe six or seven years later, the big house will be able to start a house.

Qin Xiangju: “You’re right, the big room is more nervous than the third room.”

The things on the new house have been moved. Then, Lin Yiyi and Qin Xiangju counted the cost of the house and the banquet, and it cost a total of 400 yuan, which is more than the Lin family’s house, but because their blue bricks are I paid for it myself, so it’s expensive. Lin Yiyi rounded up a whole number and gave Qin Xiangju 400. Qin Xiangju didn’t have much money in her hands, and everyone’s wages hadn’t been paid yet. After taking Lin Yiyi’s money, they had to pay the wages. In addition to the 400 yuan, Lin Yiyi took out another 40 yuan: “Mother, these 20 are hard money for grandpa, and these 20 are hard money for you.”

Qin Xiangju: “No, no, I don’t have to work hard.” As a parent, it is reasonable to say that a house should be prepared for the children, but their family does not have this condition. The house is prepared by the children themselves, so how can she work harder? money.

Lin Yiyi: “I still want my mother to do me a favor in the future. If my mother is like this, I will

But I’m sorry to ask my mother for help again. “

When Qin Xiangju heard it, she knew that her daughter-in-law said this on purpose, so she had to take the money: “Why are you busy?”

Lin Yiyi said: “The yard is full of mud, and the soles of my shoes must be dirty after it rains. I want to lay some stones, do you think it’s alright? Just lay a one-meter-wide stone from the gate of the yard to the gate of the hall. Just go and put some cement on it.”

Qin Xiangju said, “That’s okay. Let me tell your grandfather, if there is enough cement, you can pour a cement road.”

Lin Yiyi: “I looked at the cement, and it doesn’t seem to be enough.”

Qin Xiangju said: “Just dig some clay, mix it with cement, lay it on the gravel road, and keep it level. In the past, the houses in the village were all made of clay, and earlier, there were also glutinous rice water and glutinous rice flour. .”

Lin Yiyi was very surprised when she heard it: “It is understandable to use glutinous rice water, but to use glutinous rice flour, glutinous rice is fine rice.”

Qin Xiangju: “At that time, there was no cement, even if there was cement, it was impossible to get it. No matter how fine the glutinous rice was, it was not as expensive as cement. Besides, the glutinous rice flour was not much needed. Also, chestnut flour was used. When the chestnut harvest is in season, everyone. Collect the chestnuts on the mountain, they are sticky and can also be used as cement.”

When Lin Yiyi heard it, she was really taught. No wonder she said that the wisdom of her predecessors was so great. Although the current scientists and inventors are all highly intelligent, their wisdom is based on the wisdom of the predecessors, and the knowledge and experience accumulated by the predecessors are used as a reference. Therefore, the predecessors are more intelligent. great.

But when it comes to the previous buildings, the most amazing, known as a miracle, is the pyramids of ancient Egypt.

Looking at Qin Xiangju, who was talking eloquently, at this moment, Lin Yiyi suddenly felt that she was the real person with little knowledge. What she knew, what she did, and what she said was only based on the future generations. Some are just that she is not as good as her mother-in-law. Lin Yiyi said, “Mother, you know a lot.”

Qin Xiangju laughed: “Mother also heard what people said.”

After the new house was finished, Lin Yiyi and Xiao Yu went back, and the rest was left to Qin Xiangju and Grandpa Xiao.

The two of them rode their own bicycles. When they came, they brought baskets with things in them. When they went, they also brought baskets with things in them. There were small corn shoots given by the Lin family, and Qin Xiangju went to other villages to exchange them. Qin Xiangju exchanged a lot of tofu for today’s banquet, some of which were for them to take back to the county.

Lin Yiyi: “

Brother Yu, do you know why today’s house is not drawn according to what I said before? “

Jin Yu: “Well, when I got home, my grandfather asked me to tell me. I think what my grandfather said makes sense. I don’t want my dad and the others to think about the things behind them when they are still strong.”

Lin Yiyi: “You didn’t tell me?” Don’t tell him such gossip.

Jin Yu smiled: “I haven’t seen you.”

Lin Yiyi: “We have a house in our family, am I not happy?”

Hearing Lin Yiyi say our family, the corners of Jin Yu’s mouth twitched slightly.

Lin Yiyi: “I’ll go back and pull some pieces of cloth and make some curtains. What color curtains do you like?”

Jin-Woo: “It’s up to you to decide.”

Lin Yiyi didn’t expect him to make suggestions at first, and she began to think about what kind of curtains to make. The color must be elegant, and it will not be changed in 1966. After much deliberation, light gray is the best.

The next day, she went to the old tailor to make four curtains, which happened to be three rooms plus the hall. There are no curtains in the kitchen, no windows in the bathroom, only a place for ventilation, which can be plugged directly with a wooden plug.

It took a few days to make the curtains, and the next day was the ribbon-cutting at the nursery of the brigade. Lin Yiyi rode a bicycle to join in the fun. After all, the brigade captain had invited her, so it would not be good for her not to go.

When we got to the brigade, it was very lively today. Almost every family, big and small, went to join in the fun. What’s more, the president is coming today, and they usually don’t have the chance to see the president, so today everyone can see the president, just Want to come and see.

Lin Yiyi went to the nursery and looked at the newly built three bungalows, made of clay and adobe, with tiles on top. The nursery had a large yard, surrounded by walls, and there was a wooden board hanging on the wall, which read: Sunshine Commune Nursery Datang Branch.

Director Yang: “Comrade Lin Yiyi, here and here.”

Following the voice, Lin Yiyi also saw Director Yang, and she hurried over: “Hello Director Yang.”

Director Yang: “You’re finally here. The president has something to do with you later.”

Lin Yiyi was stunned: “Is it related to the nursery?”

Director Yang said: “No, it’s always a good thing, you’ll find out later, let me say hello first.”

Lin Yiyi: “…Thank you, Director Yang.” It might be better not to tell her to save her from worrying.

President Cheng and Captain Zhang also came and greeted each other when they saw Lin Yiyi. I don’t know if it was the relationship that Director Yang had reminded, but Lin Yiyi’s heart beat a little fast when she saw President Cheng, but she was actually groggy.

After cutting the ribbon, President Cheng spoke. The villagers were very enthusiastic. They gave President Cheng the loudest applause. After speaking, President Cheng came to Lin Yiyi.

President Cheng: “Comrade Lin Yiyi…”

Lin Yiyi is a bit square: “Hello, President.”

President Cheng said: “Let’s go, let’s chat while walking, I heard that your new house is ready, take me to see it?”

Lin Yiyi said, “Please come here.”

Director Yang left with President Cheng.

On the way, President Cheng said, “Yiyi, are you going to be in your first year of high school in September? I heard that you skipped a grade when you were in junior high school.”

Lin Yiyi said: “Yes, I will start my first year of senior high school in September. Because my husband is a college student, he is giving me supplementary lessons during the holidays, so I learned knowledge in junior high school faster and skipped a grade.”

President Cheng: “Deputy Director Xiao is a rare college student in our commune, but he is the only one admitted to the military academy.”

Lin Yiyi thought, fortunately, it is the military school, the military school is the safest, and it is safer in the future if it is related to the troops and soldiers. Of course, it is relatively safe for these little people, and the struggle of the leaders will have nothing to do with them.

Lin Yiyi: “You passed the prize.”

President Cheng: “One by one, why don’t you work hard in high school and skip a grade?”

Lin Yiyi: “Is it possible to skip a grade if you want to? The knowledge from high school has been returned to the teacher long ago.”

President Cheng said: “Look, from planting vegetables on the stove, to raising pigs, to opening a nursery, I think you are a talented person. Our leaders have said that women can hold up half the sky, and you are the one who can hold up. Women of half the sky.”

Lin Yiyi: “You passed the prize.”

President Cheng: “So I want to say, after you graduate from high school, come to the commune as an officer.”

Lin Yiyi was stunned: “But…but it will take three years. Even if I work hard, it will take two years.”

President Cheng said with a smile: “Then you should work hard and be an officer at that time, and you can also help Lao Yang.”

Director Yang: “President Cheng means, let’s wait for you and be optimistic about you.”

Lin Yiyi did the math. It takes only 20 minutes to ride a bicycle from the commune to the county seat, and 20 minutes to ride a bicycle from the commune to the countryside. No matter where you go, it is very convenient. And when she graduates from high school, ten years of turmoil is about to come. After writing the last story this time, she will close the writing. It will be impossible to be a rice bug at home by then, how boring. The commune officer is really good, the job is stable, and there is not so much right and wrong

.

In fact, the ten years of turmoil had little effect on a small place like them. When she read the novel and saw what the author wrote, she thought it was like that, but in fact it was an exaggeration. Unrest depends on the place, like their side, the impact is very small. The place where her grandmother and grandmother live now used to be a rural area. Later, with the development of the city and the expansion of the urban area, those villages became districts, so the second generation of demolition came like this.

Both grandmother and grandmother said that they were not affected at that time, nor was the village affected, so for the ten years, it also depends on the locality. But at that time, the poor were really poor.

After Lin Yiyi wanted to understand, Lin Yiyi said: “Thank you, President, for your attention. I will definitely live up to the president’s hope and work hard for the commune and the people. As the leader said, women can hold up half the sky, and I will definitely do my best. Yes.” As for not being able to get up in the morning, Lin Yiyi doesn’t have to worry at all, because there are no entertainment programs at night in this era, and if you go to bed early, you will wake up very early in the morning.

President Cheng said: “Well said, one by one, I am optimistic about you.”

Lin Yiyi: “Thank you, President.”

President Cheng: “Remember to graduate in two years.”

Lin Yiyi: “Yes.” She really wants to ask Brother Yu to make up the class at this moment, and she may not be able to handle high school mathematics.

After negotiating with President Cheng, Lin Yiyi went to Xiao’s house. Qi Spinach was in a good mood today. After the president’s speech, the children in the nursery began to sign up. Qi Spinach reported both children, with a total of four catties of grain. also paid. The fee for the nursery is two catties of food per child per month, which can be paid month by month. That is to say, if you go for one month, you may not go to the second month, but you can count as a few days in a month. If you do not go, the food cannot be returned.

With only two catties of food, everyone is not so stingy, so many children signed up today. The main thing is that two catties of grain a month are cheap. If you exchange it for money, everyone will shrink back.

Qi Spinach saw Lin Yiyi and said enthusiastically: “The second siblings are here. Today I signed up Xiaorui and Xiaozhu, and these two children can go to the nursery in the future. My father and I are relieved when they go to work. “

Lin Yiyi said: “No, there are still many benefits when the nursery opens.”

Qi Spinach: “That is to say, in the future, grandma will be able to relax, otherwise we will go to work, and it will be very hard for grandma to bring two children.”

Lin Yiyi was surprised, Qi Spinach could still say such a thing?

Qi spinach head because 60

The matter of dollars was a shame, and when she returned to her mother’s house, she was trained by her mother again, so she became “sensible” again.

Lin Yiyi didn’t pick up Spinach’s words, she took out two liberation bags: “Sister-in-law, Xiaorui and Xiaozhu are going to the nursery, I will give them a schoolbag each, I hope they study hard and make progress every day.”

Qi Spinach saw the schoolbag and returned two, very happy: “Thank you second brother and sister, it’s great, I’m still worried about making a study for them. Xiaorui and Xiaozhu come over quickly, your second aunt will give you liberation packed…”

Lin Yiyi saw that she was happy, the liberation bag in the system mall was 8 yuan each.

Xiao Rui and Xiao Zhu ran over, looking at the army green liberation bag, their eyes lit up.

The two liberation bags are the same except for the words above. But there is a red five-pointed star with a line of characters written below it, one for serving the people and one for studying hard. In fact, there are other patterns in the liberation bag, some with pictures of great leaders, and some with pictures of revolutionary comrades, but Lin Yiyi did not buy this kind of bag, she felt that it was still a five-pointed star, and she would not go wrong.

Xiao Rui and Xiao Zhu put the liberation bags on their backs and said to Lin Yiyi, “Thank you, Second Aunt.” The two children are not as introverted as they used to be. I went to the county town again and didn’t get along with Xiao Rui and Xiao Zhu for two days, so they were relatively unfamiliar with her, so they didn’t dare to speak. It’s been two years now, and of course they are familiar with her.

Xiao Rui: “Second Aunt, can we go out and show it to our friends?” Xiao Rui, who is five years old, is more fun to be with his friends, and the friends also like to play with him. Among them are Xiao Yu and Xiao Rui. In Lin Yiyi’s relationship, because their husband and wife are promising, adults in other families will tell their children to let them play well with the Xiao family. There are only two children in the Xiao family, Xiao Rui and Xiao Zhu, so naturally they played with them.

Lin Yiyi: “Of course you can, but don’t go to places where you play with water.”

Xiao Rui: “I know.” Children like to play in the water, especially in summer, but they are also particular about it. For example, they won’t go when they are wearing new clothes, because they are reluctant to get their new clothes dirty, and new clothes are very important to them. , is hard to come by. Now Xiao Rui and Xiao Zhu have new schoolbags, which they like more than new clothes, so naturally they won’t go to the water play place.

Qi Spinach: “Second younger siblings like children so much, so I have to give birth earlier.” Like her, she is used to having a rough voice, and it’s the same way when she talks to children, like

The second sibling’s tone, what, what, what, she is not used to.

If Lin Yiyi knew her inner thoughts, she would probably put the label of the best on her again. To be honest, Qi Spinach really made her laugh or cry. Every time I want to make trouble, and then get slapped in the face, just like Xiaoqiang, I always don’t give up, and I have a strong spirit of Xiaoqiang. Let’s be honest, just not smart, Liang’s is smarter than her. Otherwise, Mrs. Liang would not have surrendered to herself when she went to the laundry the day after she married.

Lin Yiyi had lunch at Xiao’s house, and Qin Xiangju made green vegetable gnocchi, and she ate a big bowl full. After eating a good meal, Qin Xiangju told her about the carpenter, and it would take about two months to finish the work on her drawings, because now she started to work, the carpenter can’t just focus on doing this every day.

Lin Yiyi was not in a hurry anyway and expressed her understanding.

After saying this, Qin Xiangju went to work, and Grandpa Xiao also went to work. Grandpa Xiao is not tired at work, and he is looking for the easiest job, but it is only 2 work points, which is not comparable to Qin Xiangju’s five or six work points. But they are not short of food now. Xiao Daqiang is now an iron rice bowl. They also have food at home and a quarter of the land. In addition, Dafang and Sanfang will give 100 catties of pension food every year from this year, adding up to 200 catties, they four An old man can eat for four months, plus the food in exchange for their work points, the food in the private land, and the rich and strong powder given by Lin Yiyi every month, so they really have no shortage of food.

After Qin Xiangju and Grandpa Xiao went to work, Lin Yiyi also left. Grandma Xiao had nothing to do, so she was carrying a basket to pick up small stones, which she picked up to pave the way for Lin Yiyi and their family.

Lin Yiyi returned to the county town, and after Xiao Yu got off work in the evening, she told Xiao Yu what President Cheng said: “But I haven’t told my parents about this, if I don’t go to the commune after graduating from high school, then It doesn’t look good.”

Jin Yu was surprised: “You won’t go to college by then?”

The author has something to say: I was thirsty when I wrote the article last night at 11 o’clock, so I went to get a bottle of vitality forest to drink, but when I twisted the hijab, I didn’t hold it firmly, and half of the bottle was poured onto the computer. These two God gotta buy a new computer, haha!
